PI Industries | CMP: Rs 4,324.7
PI Industries witnessed a consolidation breakout on Tuesday, followed by a strong upward move accompanied by robust volumes. It is currently trading above both its short-term and long-term moving averages, which are trending higher and aligned in the ideal sequence—indicating a strong bullish trend.

TD Power Systems | CMP: Rs 516.2
TD Power Systems has recently demonstrated a strong technical setup by finding support in the Rs 460–450 zone—a region marked by the confluence of the 100-day EMA and the 61.8% Fibonacci retracement level, drawn from its prior upward rally spanning Rs 387 to Rs 552.75. This confluence zone acted as a critical support level, and the stock responded with a sharp rebound over the last two trading sessions.
The recovery was accompanied by a noticeable increase in trading volumes, which adds conviction to the strength and reliability of the reversal. Importantly, the stock has now moved decisively above its short-term moving averages. Further, the daily RSI has also surged past the 60 mark, entering bullish territory and indicating improving strength in the underlying trend. Hence, we recommend accumulating the stock in the Rs 520–515 zone.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 560
Stop-Loss: Rs 498
HDFC Asset Management Company | CMP: Rs 5,670
HDFC AMC has been strongly outperforming the frontline indices over the last couple of trading sessions. The ratio chart of the stock compared to the Nifty index is at a 59-month high, which shows robust relative strength. As the stock is trading at an all-time high, all the moving averages and momentum-based indicators are suggesting strong bullish momentum.
The daily RSI is in a super bullish zone as per RSI range shift rules. The daily MACD stays bullish as it is quoting above its zero line and signal line. The trend strength indicator, ADX, is showing robust strength as it is quoting at 30 levels and rising. The directional parameter +DI is much above the -DI. Hence, we recommend accumulating the stock in the Rs 5,680–5,660 zone.
Strategy: Buy
Target: Rs 6,070
Stop-Loss: Rs 5,480
